These corporate records relate to the history of the BSR since its inception in 1901. A particular focus is given to archival holdings relating to former award-holders and their different roles throughout their association with the BSR and its wide community. This rich documentation shows the groundbreaking impact the BSR has generated on generations of academic, researchers, artists and architects as well as on British research worldwide.

Architectural drawings of former BSR Scholars in Architecture (1913-1933) as well as plans and elevations of the BSR building executed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and some BSR scholars (1912-1951).

This archive includes Eugénie Sellers Strong's academic and personal correspondence, cartes de visite, personal and biographical materials, catalogues, working papers, publications alongside an extensive collection of photographic prints and postcards.

The collection comprises nearly 7,000 objects, 2 albums and thousands of born-digital files and represents an outstanding resource for the study of the Fine Arts practice of British and Commonwealth artists and architects since the establishment of the Rome Prizes for Decorative Painting, Engraving, Sculpture and Architecture in 1913.
